WALES found themselves at the bottom of the standings after day two of the Women's Home Internationals at Cruden Bay Golf Club in Scotland.

A 5-4 defeat to Ireland, following Wednesday's tie with England, means the Welsh team of Becky Brewerton, Jo Pritchard, Sarah Jones, Jo Nicholson, Anna Highgate, Kate Phillips, and Natalee and Stephanie Evans have just half a point to their credit going into day three.

In the foursomes Brewerton and Jones beat Tricia Mangan and Heather Nolan 6&4, while in the singles Jones beat Tara Delaney by two holes, Highgate won 4&2 against Helen Jones, and Stephanie Evans halved with Maria Dunne and Jo Nicholson halved with Maura Morrin. Brewerton lost to Mangan 2&1, while Phillips was beaten 5&3 by Claire Coughlan.
